This whole idea of 'kpop acts getting western validation' is getting so annoying for me; like I get the hype that BTS is getting in the USA and they do deserve it but it doesn't mean that all of these other groups should just suddenly pop up and have a huge scale tour, go to these television shows and etc. Wish they'd focus on Korea more while they're promoting in America

the double standards for boygroups and girlgroups irritate me; girlgroups are judged for their 'repetitive concepts' and people say that all of their title tracks sound the same while boygroups release almost the same stuff over and over again yet they're still being praised for 'sticking to their roots' and everything. what a bunch of fucking hypocrites

As someone who comes from a culture that a lot of artists often draw inspiration from, cultural things CAN be used as aesthetic and concept.

 

Particularly in music when you're using a genre from that country, like Jamaican reggae, it's okay to emulate stuff from that country, especially if on top of that, you're filming the music video in that country and working with people from that country.

 

And some of y'all love going on and on about "as long as they're respectful" and "respect" this and that. Let me tell you something, to the average Jamaican, it ain't that deep. Believe me, we do not care.

 

There are sacred/important things that are better left alone etc. but vast majority of the time, like 9 times out of 10, again, it ain't that deep.

 

THIS. Idk why people are so obsessed with Dreamcatcher's name, like how the fuck is it disrespectful? more like respecting the culture tho
